    The song describes a woman named Molly Malone who sold cockles and mussels in Dublin's fair city. She wheeled her wheelbarrow through the streets crying out to sell her wares. Molly Malone's family had been in the fishmongering business for generations. Unfortunately, Molly died of a fever and could not be saved. Now her ghost is said to still wheel her barrow through the streets of Dublin crying "cockles and mussels alive, alive O!"
